How to modify Contact Us meta tags?
 
At www.cheapglasses.net, I found the following pages have the same description:
Contact us
My Account
Register

<meta name="description" content="The powerful shopping cart software for web stores and e-commerce enabled stores is based on PHP5 with SQL database with highly configurable implementation based on templates" />

How can we modify each page's meta tags (title, description,keywords),pls?

Out of the box you can change the meta description and keywords for content pages only (products, categories, brands, articles, ...). I.e. for those pages that contain information that people may search for in search engines. I believe that for other types of pages the meta tags are almost useless and give you nothing from the SEO perspective.

However, you can alter the tags by creating a module that overrides the \XLite\Controller\AController::getMetaDescription( ) and \XLite\Controller\AController::getKeywords() methods.

For the contact us page you should create classes/XLite/Module/XC/CustomSkin/Controller/Customer/ContactUs.php with the following contents and then enable Custom Skin module (or redeploy the store if the module is enabled already):
PHP Code:
<?php

namespace XLite\Module\XC\CustomSkin\Controller\Customer;

/**
 * Decorated controller class.
 * 
 * @LC_Dependencies ("CDev\ContactUs")
 */
class ContactUs extends \XLite\Module\CDev\ContactUs\Controller\Customer\ContactUs implements \XLite\Base\IDecorator
{
    /**
     * Get meta description
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function getMetaDescription()
    {
        return 'Your custom meta description for pages handled by this controller class';
    }

    /**
     * Get meta keywords
     *
     * @return string
     */
    public function getKeywords()
    {
        return 'Your custom meta keywords for pages handled by this controller class';
    }
}

For other pages you should create similar files, but with a different location/namespace/name of the class being extended. Also, you need the @LC_Dependencies only for controller classes that are added by modules (change it in accordance with the module name), for core classes skip it.

I have create ContactUs.php under classes/XLite/Module/XC/CustomSkin/Controller/Customer/

Do you see in under /admin.php?target=addons_list_installed&substring=c ustom%20skin ?

If not, please check if there is the classes/XLite/Module/XC/CustomSkin/Main.php file.

solved.

Re-deploy your store via the admin area of your X-Cart, this is very important, after I re-deploy www.cheapeyeglasses.net, I got what I need.

You can actually redefine the default meta description via a language label, no need to write a module.
The one you are looking for is 'default-meta-description'.
